LAC: Longest lasting "Wax"?

[Ben Swann]

ME TOO!  

 

I just rebuilt an '87 Sunrunner 22.5'.  Need something that won't get
"chalky".  Gelcoat compounded and polished up nice, but a few days later, it
gets hazy.

 

[MAC] Once I splash this boat I'll finally be getting onto my backlog of AUDI
projects.

Hey all,

 

Although its not for my Audi, this could easily apply to any Audi. I'm in

search of the longest lasting wax or wax-like product for use in a harsh

environment. Specifically on my fiberglass blat. She's an older 40 foot

trawler (a Willard 40 FBS for those familiar with trawlers). Her hull is

white with a grey boot stripe. The hull is oxidized (clalky). I can gt rid

of the chalkiness and oxidation with a polisher and cleaner/compound. She

has plenty of gelcoat left for that. If it comes down to it, she actully has

enough gel left that I could wet sand then polish, but I dont thing shes

that for gone. But the real question is what wax or wax-like product to put

on to keep it looking good for a long time to come. I dont need super high

gloss, the most important thing to me is longevity. She is outseide and in a

slip, constantly exposed to the elements including salt air. I am good about

rinsing her down with freah water after I take her out, but she is exposed

to saltwater at least one a month.  Idealy I'd like it to last at least a

year, if not longer. SO, anyone have any suggestions for a long lasting

product?
